Don’t You Cry

Darling
I’m on your side
I see
There’s tears in your eyes

So Don’t you cry
My little baby
I’m gonna take you to
the land of the sunrise
Don’t you cry
My little baby
Dance in the wind
Kiss your skin up and away
Hey ’cause you cut my heart open with tears from your eyes

Your laugh
Hasn’t visited for a while
Lonely has replaced your sweet smile
What used
To tickle you, friend of mine
Has long since
Been wasted on the line

So don’t you cry
My little baby
I’m gonna take you to
The land of the sunrise
Don’t you cry
My little baby
Dance in the wind
Kiss your skin
With the sunlight
Don’t you cry
My little baby
Dreams gonna fly Up and up and up
Away
Hey you cut my heart open with tears from your eyes

So don’t you cry
My little baby
I’m gonna take you to
The land of the sunrise
Don’t you cry
My little baby
Dance in the wind
Kiss your skin
With the sunlight
Don’t you cry
My little baby
You’re making me shiver when you look at me that way
Don’t you cry
My little baby
Dreams gonna fly Up and up and up
Away
Hey you cut my heart open with tears from your eyes
